I have an antique bellows camera in the same kind of design of the Open Box M (lots of brass twiddly bits) and I totally recommend Stone Photo Gear for custom made protective cases - they're US based but ship everywhere. They could even have a sleeve for your glass palette. I have a medium Open Box M that I haven't actually used yet, but as soon as I get to it, I'm getting on to Stone again.
Here I am with bubble envelope fixes again. Take two large envelopes and cut them each open on one long side. Put the easel in one and then fit the other over the other side overlapping the other envelope. You could leave it open like that or tape it inside and out along all overlapped edges. Will work as well as the lap top sleeve and it is virtually free.
Yeah, for sure! Luckily for me *knocks on wood* I have only broke the glass once. I pretty avoid setting up in the wind now, and am careful loading and unloading my easel. That is when it happened last time.
Great review and editing! I have a question about getting glass cut for your palette: I recently received an 11 x14, and would like to get glass cut for the palette base. How do did you work around the two interior screwheads when your glass was cut? I'd prefer to have the glass touching as close as possible to the walls of the pochade, but am having difficulty finding someone able/willing to grind the glass out to accommodate the screw heads. I did try having a piece cut approximate 1/4 shorter than the total palette width but don't like the large gaps between the glass and the pochade box edge. (Not an acrylic palette fan....)
Thanks for the comment Karen and excellent question. I only had screws on one side so the gap was only on the right side of the glass. I ended up using silicone to fill the gap. I used silicone to adhere it to the wood so with the extra tube I just filled that gap. It is definitely not ideal though. You could see if maybe a dremmel tool could grind away the gap? Good luck let me know how it works out!
Commenting to increase engagement and to say that your editing, lighting, and audio quality are all fantastic. Keep it up!
Aw thanks man! That means a lot. Thanks for helping me along on the youtubes AI monster :D
Great review! And delightful video.

Thanks for the tip those cases look awesome!
Holy cow your editing is getting so dang good! Major props.
Thank you! I couldn't do it without the support and patience of my loved ones ;)
One of my personal favorites! I use their brass brush quiver.
I need to pick one of those up!
Are these still in business?
Which do you like better, the U go or the open m.
Such a hard call to make! They have different pros and cons. They are both exceptionally light and capable easels.

I love your solutions! Free AND lightweight! I am going to grab some next time I am at the shipping store.
Doesn’t seem to exist anymore??
Thanks v much
I am a fan of the glass too but if they topple you can break the glass and the easel. I take my chances because glass is my favorite.

@@KennethYarus Thanks Ken! I think I'll need to break out the dremel tool....and then hand it to my husband! 😊
Lay brushes horizontal but then you need bigger end of wood !
Thanks for the tips Anna!
Anyone have one to sell
